Chimney Fire Safety Week is here — and ProSweep Devon is proud to support it!
Running from Monday 1st to Sunday 7th September 2025, this national campaign shines a spotlight on chimney fire prevention — something we care deeply about here in Bovey Tracey and across South Devon.
As your trusted local chimney sweep, we’ve seen firsthand how regular maintenance can make all the difference. The stats are encouraging: chimney fire incidents in England dropped by 5.03% last year, now making up just 1.4% of all reported fires. But with 2,019 chimney fires still recorded between April 2024 and March 2025, there’s no room for complacency.
The riskiest time? January to March, when people rely most on their stoves and open fires — and when 40% of chimney fires typically occur.
At ProSweep Devon, we’re here to help you stay safe and warm. Whether you’re in Bovey Tracey, Newton Abbot, or the surrounding villages, we offer professional sweeping, friendly advice, and peace of mind. If you haven’t booked your sweep yet, now’s the perfect time — before the cold sets in and the logs start crackling.
Let’s work together to keep our community safe, one chimney at a time. — The ProSweep Devon Team
